TBST MARCONI SYSTEM
'Government Yery Thorough In Its
Investigations,
Wireless Telegraphy Between War Ships
Decision Not Yet Hade Public
Trial at Sea.
New York, October 27. For
two days the United States Navy
has boon experimenting with the
possibilities of tho Mbicom wire
less systom of telegraphy as a
means of coramnnication between
ships at sea. Tin experiments
have been conducted by Marconi
and his aqsialaur, uailur tho sup
ervision of a board of officers ap
pointed by the Secretary of tho
Navy. Wbilo the bo ml has sot
the seal of official secrecy on its
verdiot, there is no denying tho
fact that wireless telegraphy ia an
unqualified success.
Oat in the North River tho flag
ship New York and tho battleship
Massachusetts aro anchored 448
yards from each other. In the
after gunroomYf tho NowYork
nnd tho captain's cabin of the
Massachusetts ara tables on which
nro a number of instruments that
to a lay observer do not look very,
unlike those used by an ordinary'
telegraph operator. They are
larger and heavier, but otherwise
havo tho same general appearance
ns tho apparatus in thousands of
telegraph officos in tho United
States. Tho receiver works with
a roll bf paper typp, and looks for
all tho world liko an ordinary
stock ticker. Ovorhead a number
of " rubber-incased wires run
through tho hatchways and up the
foremast to a distance of about
twenty feet. Tho instruments, tho
short wires and two storage bat
teries constitute- tho entire Marco
ni systom. Elootrical currents,
Atmospheric force pressure and
polecentrea do tho reBt.
Marconi's oxporimeuts today
were far moro complicated and
difficult than any. he has over bo
fore attempted in.this country.
Ho received messages at tho same
time that ho sent others. Tho tele
graphing was not confiued to any
ono code, but tho messages woro
purposely jumped ino n jargon of
every codo known to tolographers
in any part of tho world. .Disjoin
ed sentences, figures, bit of navy
cipher and newspaper hoadlincs
were all shot through the air in
rapid succession.
It is exyected tbat on Monday
the New York and Massachusetts
will oruise off Sandy Hook in
older to make a loag-distance test
of the system. They ra;y bo away
from anchorago for several days.
At times the vessels will be forty
miles from each other, and this
will be the cruoial demonstration.
If successful, it will prove how
valuable the system would be dur
ing a naval engagement or while a
fleet is blockading an onemy'a
coast. During the long distance
tests the great guns of the war
ships will be discharged, aa a
farther est.

Stole Vrpm th Orpliram.
There was a little case of rob
bery in tho Orphoum Sunday. A
laborer at work on tho placo
claims to havo had sevoral arti
cles left in tho place, including $2
in silvor. stolen by some mis
creant. This was not the only
case. One of tho people now en
gaged at tho Orphoum lost a pair
of shoes at tha same time.
The thief is suspected bat the
matter has not yet boeu placed in
the hands of the police. Tho
euspeoted one will bo watched
very closely from now oq.

French Girl
Years.
ot
Harlle Welsgerber Forced to a Life or Evil by
Han Who Took Her from
Home.
Issabet is d yoang Frenchman
who was arrested this morning on
the chargo of assault and battery
on Martlo Weiegorbor, a Frenoh
girl. Tbo case came up in tho
Police Court this forenoon but
has been continued nntil a later
date. Issabot was roloasod on
bail at $50 but was rearrested this
afternoon.
The case of the girl is a very
sad one. She can speak but a
fow words of English and hence
finds it hard to got along here.
In an interview with a Bulletin
reporter at the pohco station this
foronoon she had the following
say:
"It was not many months ago
that Issabot inveigled mo away
from my homo in Paris whore I
was working in one of tho factor
ies. He took mo to the United
States and thon brought mo to
Honolulu. Instead of marrying
and supporting me he obtained a
room in a vilo sootion of the city
and there installed mo as ono of
tho domi-monde. I was heart
broken, but what oould I do, I
know no ono and oould do noth
ing. Issabet compollod mo to do
what I loathed and when I did
not make onough monoy to euit
him, he beat me.
"Last night I gave bim $2 and
ho beat mo unmorcifully because
that was not enough to got
drunk on. I derided to stand
it' uo longer and got out
a warrant for his arrest. 1
am only nineteen year of ago acd
I do not know what to do. I have
written my parents statiug my cir
cumstances but havri heard no
thing from them. It ii my im-
prossion that thp lettor never got
to them'
" I was Biimmontd to appear ai
a witness in tho cao this morning
but was prevented from doing so
by a brother of Issabot until a po
lice olllcor appeared with n bench
warrant. I was glad as I wanted
to testify against Issabot."
Tho caso is ono that is being
o&refully studied by tho police
authorities and tue faot that an
other warrant was got out for Is
sabot goes to show that ho is con
sidered safer in jail than ont of it.
Martlo is a very pretty girl
whose face shows her to be not at
all inclined toward a vicious life.
Her story of intimidation was told
in a straightforward manner and
boars evory somblanoo of truth.
People interested in the welfare
of tbo unfortunate young girl have
espoused her cause and will do all
thoy can for her. A jettor written
by her to bor parents in France is
lready in safo hands and will be
forwarded at the first opportunity.
HAWAII PONOI.
Many who heard the concert by
the band of the 31st Regiment at
the Hawaiian hotol yesterday
afternoon have been wondering
how tho members succeeded in
learning "Hawaii Ponoi" so well
that thoy were able to play it with
variations, This is how it came
about.
Captain J. Tremaine Smith,
Commander of tho City of Peking
learned tbo air by hearing it play
ed on the Pacific Mail wharf dar
ing the visits of the steamer hero.
Just after loaving San Francisco
tho band master heard the oaptain
whistling "Hawaii Ponoi," pulled
oat a pieoo of paper and scratched
down tho notes. In a few hours he
had the arrangement for the vari
ous instruments and was practis
ing tho pieco tho next day. With
the oxooption that the Slst band
plays it in two step time tho mu
sic is almost identical with that
played by the band hero.

Two well known young men of
tho city, failing to como to a sot

English languago and accessories
yesterday ovoning oballengod each
othor to a fistic onoountor, tho
placo to bo tho High School
grounds. Two attorneys, friends
of tbo young bloods, wero chosen
and tho quartet, silent and grim,
repaired to the sceuo of carnage.
The steady crunch of tho sand
undor thoir feet wo? all that could
be heard.
Friends of both parties had been
given "tho tip" an J, Approaching
the plaoe from various points,
mado a ring and stood silent.
There was no handshake iu this
fight. It was a caso of business
without ceremony. Dospatch was
what was wanted as tbo fear of
tho police was groat. Then camo
tho count and thon the stoady pat,
patof tho ungloved hands on somo
part of the anatomy of tho young
fighters.
One young man seomo.l to be
getting ia moro telling blows than
his antagonist. Tho other, though
gamo was weakening visibly.
Sevoral rounds were fought. Thoro
was an attempt to koop tho ou
lookors from making any noise
but the sympathizers tho losing
man tried to cheer bim up and, in
this way, attracted tho attontion
of people living near by, who tel
ephoned atonco for tho police
It was just about two minutes
beforo tho arrival of Officer Lam
bert and ono othor that tho crowd
dispersed, fortunately for thorn.
Ono of tho principals was car-
od out by his frionds, his nose
jloeding, his limbs limp and his
faco as pale as ono in a trance.
Ho had fought woll but tho bnwn
and lasting qualities of Iub anta
gonist were too much for him and
ho foil in a faint.
Tho police officers rushed the
placo and tried by means of tho
rays of a lantern to discovorod
somo of the parties to tlmoncoun
tor; bat all in vain. They had
scattered in different directions.
Now then, coming to tho young
men,who wpro thoy ? Echo might
answer out 11 wouiu noi uo wen
for thoir families. Perhaps the
two young attorneys, ono a com
par;tivo malihini and tho other a
kamaa(na, a son of the soil, might
give some clue to tbo ocourrenco.

Chinese end that has thus far es
caped notice.
It appears that the certificates or
affidavits or hatever they may be
called which were made out In Ho
nolulu, sold In China as high as
1 100 each. The description of the
Intending immigrant was given by
a friend in Honolulu and sworn to
before a notary public here. The
certlfTcatee were then sent to China,
where the necessary photograph
was attached. .
According to Information received
Stt here there seems to be a head-
quarters In China for thcdlstrlbti
tlonofthe certlficatesrThe appli
cant pays down his fico for the
certificate on the guarantee that the
money will be refunded In case he
falls to secure a landing in Hawaii.
& Thus the "student" when lie starts
